The FAA is moving up the deployment of a modernized notam service to September. Internally targeted for the end of the year, the agency had used an accelerated schedule to shave off time for the new architecture to come online.

“A major notam system outage in January 2023 highlighted the fragility of the system and the need to speed up the modernization,” the FAA noted in announcing plans for deployment. That outage led to the passage of the Notam Improvement Act of 2023, which called on the FAA to implement a new system—with backup—by September 2024. The bill also established a Notam Task Force to look at short- and long-term improvements to the system.
